Testimonials

The lessons we learned and the knowledge we gained in such a short amount of time is incredible

A. London

I thank you so much for giving me a chance to do my small part-as a living witness-to tell what I went through and what I saw

Yitzchak Wargon – Holocaust Witness

You have reawakened the “Heritage” in all of us, and you should know how successful you have been in accomplishing your goal

B&J Weinberg – Young Israel of Scarsdale

There in Poland, is the least place I expected it, I became a better person

T. Friedan

Thank you for allowing me to have this unique experience to go with both my father andmy Zaidy. The staff was exceptional and you should be proud of the work you do.

A. Samuels

It was also clear, however, from the times at which you spoke, that the ultimate message you wanted everyone to take away was a positive one, and one which can serve to drive, inspire and ignite future generations to use the horrors of the Holocaust as a springboard for strengthening not only Jewish identity, but as a basis for everyone to build up their own leadership and ability to make a difference

M. Mays

I will never forget the past week of my life. I believe that the last 55 years were just a prelude to the week in Poland. You made it possible for me to face my past as well as my future. Somewhere my grandparents are smiling and saying thank you for visiting our last place on our earth and for your tefillot on Tisha B’Av

B. Pollack

I just wanted to say thank you for what had to have been the most amazing, meaningful, and perspective-altering experience I’ve had to date

E. Eisenberg

My time in Poland was intense, challenging, and completely transformative. I was able to fill in the holes in my understanding of the Shoah, in terms of the history, places and people involved. Also, I was able to gain a new appreciation for the vibrant Jewish life which once existed in pre-war Poland.

L. Schuchart

I don’t think that a single person can go on Heritage and not come out a changed person
